On the one hand, I fully agree, we need to limit his power by just not fucking paying attention to him. On the other, if we stop trying to broadcast what an odious fucking human being he is, the more he’ll be able to pump money into media outlets and PACs to influence global policy in his favor

Exactly. He’s like a predator in the wild. You want to know exactly where he is and what he’s doing while you try to drink water and eat something.
I think we can even take that simaly and turn it into a literal statement
